Subject: RE: Killing fence rows and ditch banks --looks like this will work


I had a friends grandpa do something similar to a large fence row on a farm he bought. He killed the trees/brush and then a year later he planted some kind of elephant grass that got huge and died. Then after crops they plowed on both sides and they waited till the condition were right and they lit that thing up. I was the biggest fire that I have ever been around. It burned long and hot enough to drop the biggest trees where they then pushed anything left in onto the fence row. I think they did it again the next fall and the fence row was clean. I think it even burned the old dead stumps out. I think the plan was to no till over the fence row for a couple years to let the roots break down. It was a lot less dozer work than digging out stumps.
